As if even the Twitter CEO himself was too “triggering” for the Twitter system to avoid suspension. On Tuesday night, everyone was thrilled about their Twitter follower count being comparable to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey’s, as his account was suspended for more about 10 minutes.

When the account came back, his follower count was reduced to a paltry 140 odd, giving a chance to many Twitter users to gloat on their “superior” follower count.

Twitter Co Founder’s follower count did rise to 3.79 million in no time, close to his 3.9 million fan base before the weird suspension.
